Clean Eating on a Budget
Jennifer Hanway | Certified Holistic Nutritionist and Certified Personal Trainer
Jennifer Hanway's 'Clean Eating on a Budget' workshop will teach you how to eat clean, healthy, delicious foods without breaking the bank. Together, you will look at how to buy organic, locally raised, meat and fresh produce, the nutritious pantry staples you can buy in bulk and the 'superfoods' that don't cost a super-fortune. Jennifer will hand out shopping lists for all the major grocery stores in the area, along with meal and snack suggestions, and money saving tips and tricks. Join her, as she discusses meal prepping ideas and recipes as well as the healthier and budget friendly options for eating out in your location.
October 11
Preserving History: Public Media Archives at WGBH
Karen Cariani | Senior Director, WGBH Media Library and Archives
Casey Davis Kaufman | Associate Director, WGBH Media Library and Archives
Public broadcasting has been on the front lines of history for nearly seven decades. At WGBH, archivists are actively digitizing, preserving, and providing access to this corpus of our recorded cultural heritage. Join two WGBH archivists in a discussion on the innovative preservation of nearly 1 million audio, video, film, and digital assets dating back to 1947. Find out how you can help in the effort to improve the searchability and accessibility of digitized, historic public media content with a game called FIX IT. History and public media enthusiasts, lifelong learners, and fellow librarians and archivists can work to identify errors and suggest changes to transcripts of archived content, and players' corrections will be made available in public media's largest digital archive.
October 18
Ending RACEISM: The Civic Role of Science and Scientists
Carlos Hoyt | Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Social Work at Wheelock College
The power and persuasiveness of science in the discourse on race has swung from infamous initial validation of racial differences to present day efforts to correct scientists' racialized conceptualizations of human beings. While scientists are increasingly vocal about the harm that results from employing race as a proxy for meaningfully distinct human subgroups, their advocacy has not reached broader society. This talk will discuss how science should be thoroughgoing in its recognition of the illegitimacy of race by taking a leading role in shifting society away from the racial worldview.
November 1
Great Emancipator or White Supremacist…or Both? : Abraham Lincoln as seen through His Speeches and Writings
Thomas A. Horrocks | Ph.D. in History, former director of the John Hay Library at Brown University
Abraham Lincoln is considered by many to be this nation's greatest president. This judgment is based primarily on his Emancipation Proclamation freeing millions of enslaved blacks and his critical role in the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery in the United States. On the issues of slavery and race, however, Lincoln has had his share of critics who have argued that his reputation as The Great Emancipator and as a proponent of black freedom is built upon falsehoods and cover-ups. Critics have claimed that Lincoln was at heart a white supremacist who would have preferred to rid the country of blacks through colonization, and a reluctant emancipator who was forced to free the enslaved by events beyond his control. Dr. Horrocks will review selections from Lincoln's speeches and writings on slavery and race in an attempt to answer the question posed in the provocative title of his lecture.

Detroit Pistons player Ben Wallace may end up avoiding jail time in a drunken driving case because of an odd twist — he had a gun on him, the Detroit Free Press reports.
The article goes on to state that Wallace may have gone before the same judge who sentenced former NBA player Jalen Rose this summer to jail time for his first DUI, which Massachusetts DUI Attorney Blog commented on at the time.
But because of the unlawfully carrying of a concealed weapon charge, a potential five-year felony in Michigan, it's likely his case will be taken to a circuit court judge, who are less likely to sentence first-time offenders to jail time. Rose was a first time offender whom the judge used to send a "message" about the dangers of driving while intoxicated.
The sentencing for OUI in Massachusetts is based largely on a judge's discretion. While there are guidelines for punishment, the argument of an experienced Massachusetts OUI attorney, coupled with favorable facts for the defendant, can help a client avoid serious jail time.
This is an odd case because under normal circumstances, a person charged with DUI would go before judge Kim Small, who has a reputation of sentencing first-time offenders to lengthy jail time — a reputation which became more widespread this summer when she sent Rose, a former NBA basketball player, to jail for DUI.
But because Wallace also faces the gun charge, that case will likely be sent to a court that handles felony cases and not low-level misdemeanors. An analysts believe that may actually benefit him.
Provided a defendant is adequately defended, judges who handle felony cases are sometimes less likely to sentence first-offenders to jail or prison time for minor felonies. In most court systems, if the defendant faces both felonies and misdemeanors, the case is taken to the court that handles felonies. Typically, judges who preside over misdemeanor cases aren't allowed to hear felony cases.
Because Wallace will be sent to a judge who is described as handing out "temperate and measured sentences," it's likely he will face probation and fines, whether he goes to trial and is convicted or enters a plea agreement. Of course, that assumes he will be convicted.
According to the news report, Wallace was in a 2007 Cadillac Escalade when he was pulled over for "driving erratically." Investigators found a magazine of bullets for a .28-caliber semiautomatic pistol that was in a backpack and registered to his wife. Police reported that Wallace's blood-alcohol level was 0.14 percent, nearly twice the state's 0.08 legal limit.
In most situations, defendants aren't allowed to pick their judge. The situation in the metro Detroit area has been heavily reported based on the high-profile cases there.
The Law Offices of Michael DelSignore are conveniently located in Stoughton, Attleboro, New Bedford and Westborough.

There are many negative consequences when Biblical doctrine is corrupted. One of those consequences has to do with terms found in Scripture. When a word that is associated with an important Biblical teaching is, instead, associated with heretical teaching, the word itself immediately raises a red flag when mentioned in other contexts. This creates a hindrance when orthodox teachers attempt to explain the Bible. Some of those listening may already have a preconceived notion about certain terms and are less likely to receive proper teaching without being affected by the flawed instruction previously heard.
In my recent experience, I have encountered this problem several times. Take the word "headship," for example. The concept of headship is a vital teaching in the Bible. It is used to explain the nature of the relationship between Christ and the Church in which He is the chief authority, merciful guardian, and gracious provider. The word is also used to describe the nature of the relationship between a husband and wife, which is patterned after the relationship we have with the Savior. The husband is called to relate to his wife as Christ does to the Church. With Jesus as the supreme example of headship, this means that the husband will give of himself for the good of his wife. He will count her welfare as more important than his own and, demonstrating all of the loving attributes that the Church enjoys from our Head, will lead in a way that creates a strong and honorable marriage in the sight of God.
Unbiblical teaching, however, has caused "headship" to become a suspicious word in many circles. Some churches explain the idea of headship as if it grants a detached authority to husband. He is told that it is his responsibility to rule over his wife and to instruct her to follow him as one would follow a master. This distortion ruins a wonderful Biblical concept and, at the same time, introduces significant tension into a marriage. The wife inevitably begins to feel like an unappreciated servant rather than a beloved and secure companion.
To be clear, the husband does have authority in the marriage relationship, but it is defined by the example of the Savior, not by worldly examples of despots, tyrants, egomaniacs, and self-centered fools who want to take the phrase, "a man's home is his castle," literally. As I indicated, a husband should be looking to Christ constantly to learn how the head of a relationship is to conduct himself.
Another word that has been terribly abused in some Christian churches is "multi-generational." In the Bible, this term refers to the process whereby one generation declares the greatness of God to the next. (cf. Judges 6:13; Psalm 44:1; 145:4; 2 Timothy 1:5) Testimony regarding the promises of God, His mighty deeds, and His love for His people is given in this manner down through the ages as history marches on.
But in some ministries, "multi-generational" has become a buzzword that is associated with a misleading assurance of salvation for the descendants of believers. The idea is that parents must raise their child according to a particular format, which supposedly comes from the Scriptures, in order to secure salvation for that child. This all depends, therefore, on the works of the present generation.
This viewpoint comes very close to teaching that God is obligated to save our children if we perform correctly as parents. Naturally, this approach causes parents to rely on their own efforts rather than the grace of God. It also makes external matters unreasonably important in the child's relationship with God and the Church. This perspective gives a false confidence to parents and children alike and can become a modern-day expression of Phariseeism.
In my own ministry, I have seen eyebrows raised when I've used this word, "multi generational," in a sermon or discussion. I often provide a disclaimer so that it is clear that I am not repeating the disturbing interpretation to which my listeners may have been subjected previously. Understood properly, of course, this concept is wonderfully encouraging to the people of God. It declares that God has provided for us and works for our good and keeps us as His own generation after generation. The present generation praises God in the hearing of the rising generation so that it, too, will know of the wisdom, power, and mercy of God. Multi-generationalism does not emphasize our works, as if we are attempting to earn a place in God's family. On the contrary, this Biblical teaching emphasizes the amazing and abundant grace of God in Christ Jesus our Savior.
Other terms and doctrines, such as "patriarchy" and "Christian liberty," could be cited as examples of this problem. The ones mentioned above, however, should be sufficient to inform us and put us on guard so that we prevent the corruption of the Bible's teaching, if possible, or be prepared to correct it as God gives us opportunity.

Air quality update
As many of you have heard, we are having a small forest fire problem here. Saturday evening, September 8, we had a lightening storm come through the area which set a lot of forest fires. Along with the lightening we had a few minutes of hard rain, which knocked a lot of the fires down, although that only delayed many of the fires from rearing their ugly heads. Here a week later, there are new fires popping up here and there around the valley. Over the last week, we had had an inversion which has caused our air quality to be less than stellar to say the least. Friday afternoon here is what it looked like looking south from the shop. [Friday evening looking south from the shop] Saturday, the inversion lifted and the skies cleared. Here is what I saw from my front yard. [looking east from my house,,,, a fire has popped up] A fire has popped its ugly head up. This morning from the shop here is what I saw. [9-18-2012 smokey skies] Looking east through town, things are a little nasty. Looking west here is what I saw. [9-18-2012 smoke] Now I'll keep the shop doors closed and pump out some work today!! One of these days, I'll be able to get out and ride my bike again!

Study: Majority of assisted-living residents under treated for common medical conditions
The majority of elderly people in assisted-living or residential care facilities do not receive the medications they need for heart attacks, osteoporosis, heart failure or strokes, according to study results released Monday.
Researchers at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill reviewed the medical records of 2,014 assisted living or residential care facility residents, all 65 years of age or older. They found that for people with a history of heart attack, more than 60% were not taking aspirin and 75% did not receive beta-blockers, which are used to prevent repeat attacks.
Among the study's other findings, more than 60% of the residents with osteoporosis were not taking calcium supplements, with over half not receiving treatment at all. More than 60% of subjects with congestive heart failure and more than one-third of stroke patients did not receive proper medication, according to a report on the study in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Doctors are sometimes hesitant to prescribe elderly residents medication because of lack of information about drug safety in older patients, said expert Dr. Jerry H. Gurwitz. More studies involving the treatment of older patients with new medications could alleviate the alarming under treatment of elderly residents, Gurwitz said.

Celebrating with Poetry Snapshots
How do we mark milestones throughout the year? With photographs, when possible—but what about those moments that a camera can't capture? A poem is a verbal snapshot, words that freeze and share an experience. Poems can provide social connection, while building language skill, memory and empathy. In this webinar, we'll model the use of poetry for celebrating more 150 holidays and occasions throughout the year (from Poem in Your Pocket Day to National Pet Week to Juneteenth to International Talk-Like-a-Pirate Day to World Bread Day), along with instructional strategies, cross-curricular connections, diversity dynamics, and collection development and programming tips. Led by Sylvia Vardell and Janet Wong, we'll weave together educator and poet perspectives and start a poetry celebration that can last all year long.

Exploring Similarity, Embracing Difference: How to Evaluate and Identify Literature Portraying Individuals with Disabilities
Gaining empathy for characters with disabilities in different cultural settings can help readers become better global citizens by increasing their understanding of disability-related challenges worldwide. Yet, discussions on diversifying collections tend to focus on race/ethnicity, and do not always include this aspect of diversity. A novelist, librarian and educator will team up to present suggestions on ways to create a welcoming library environment for readers with disabilities; evaluating the authenticity of books with characters with disabilities; building up collections that include books featuring characters with disabilities; going beyond tropes. So the presenters will discuss:
Instructors: Carrie Banks, Padma Venkatraman
Exploring Similarity, Embracing Difference: Programming and Activities
A novelist, librarian and educator will team up to present suggestions on engaging and encouraging readers to increase their literacy and sensitivity through writing activities and close reading. Carrie Banks will demonstrate how she uses literature, research, models, class discussion and demonstrations to help readers understand an aspect of the disability experience. Based on her work at the Pratt Institute, she will sketch a character development project that involves developing avatars with disabilities based on readings of children's and YA fiction about disabilities. Sara Kersten will share how the graphic format of El Deafo gave voice to the different ways of being that people with hearing loss have to navigate in a society that privileges ability, and demonstrate how, through the use of anthropomorphized rabbits and various ways of depicting hearing through speech bubbles, her hearing students had an opportunity to become witness to and live an experience outside their own. Finally, Padma Venkatraman, award-winning author of A Time to Dance (a critically acclaimed ALA notable book set in South Asia, featuring a female protagonist who is disabled), will address her experiences as a writer and will provide questioning frameworks, critical thinking strategies, research activities, writing tips, book pairing ideas and other resources to increase comprehension of international attitudes and perspectives on disability. The session will end by listing further resources and offering links to discussion guides, lesson plans and handouts with suggested activities.
Instructors: Sara Kersten, Padma Venkatraman
Firing on All Cylinders: Making Reading Matter
"I hate reading." "Reading is boring". Being seen in the library is social suicide". are some direct quotes from young reluctant readers. How librarians, both school and public, can effectively engage with hard-to-shift children of all ages and develop strategies for firing them up is what this webinar is all about. When the demands of the curriculum, staff shortages, budget management, access and the day-to-day management of a busy library leave increasingly less time for reader development it's even more important to create stimulating, positive reading opportunities and make the most of your lending collections.
Instructor: Alison Brumwell

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Amherst District Curriculum
Amherst-Pelham Regional Public Schools has an extensive section of its website dedicated to the curriculum. It has a strong English Language Learning program, which has its own mission statement. The "Teaching and Learning" portion contains a description of the professional development that the educators go through, which focuses on high student achievement. There are also curriculum reports and curriculum improvement updates.
In addition, Amherst has created curriculum maps for grades K-12 in all content areas. All of the teachers at each grade level and school in the district collaborated in preparing these guides, which serve as a basis for instruction and assessment. Therefore, the curriculum aligns both horizontally (across grade levels in all schools) and vertically (as students move from grade level to grade level). The district refers to it as a "living curriculum," as revisions are made collaboratively on an annual basis based on student needs and new research.
Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

- Several Students Recognized for Performance on National Latin Exam - Of the 51 Amherst Regional High School students to take the National Latin Exam, 32 of them received awards. Twelve of the students earned gold medals (Summa cum laude). The exam assessed knowledge of the Latin language and Roman mythology, history, and culture.
- Junior Student Receives National Art Award - A junior at ARHS was recognized as a National Gold Medal Winner for the category of drawing in the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. Her work titled "Morning News" was chosen from over 255,000 drawings. The artwork depicted the student's father reading the newspaper the day after the Boston Red Sox won the World Series.
Chalk Talk: Making the Grade
By the time students reach the upper elementary grades, their primary academic concern becomes a sole thing: their letter grade. They put forth the most effort on graded assignments and tests and ask the most questions about graded work. Their motivation typically stems from receiving a good grade rather than their actual learning. It is no wonder that today's students have this mentality. From a young age, they see the emphasis that is placed on them earning a certain score on their state standardized assessment. Academic competition often takes the form of the students with the best grades and GPA winning out in terms of getting into higher level classes and their chosen colleges. Parents usually base their children's success (or lack thereof) in school on their report cards and are now frequently invited to check their grades online throughout the school year. Grades are undoubtedly important and are certainly not disappearing anytime soon, but students, teachers, and parents should remember that the content this is learned and skills that are mastered are just as important.

A mother of six on benefits who was reported to be asking that she be rehoused in an exclusive London area failed in a bid to gag The Sunday Times.
Stephanie Demouh was reported to be bidding to move back to Belgravia (pictured) so her children could attend an "elite" school nearby. She had been forced to leave her £2m home because of the recent cap on housing benefit.

Irish News defies police injunction threat to name suspect in Kingsmill massacre
Her story was first reported in The Sunday Times on 17 March and also featured in a number of other papers.
In a High Court claim form, dated 13 March, Demouh asked for an injunction to prevent the paper from "publishing articles about my family's private life without my consent, to get them to respect our human rights and our right to privacy".
The injunction was aimed primarily at Sunday Times journalist Nicholas Hellen, who Demouh said first approached her on 7 March asking her to feature in an article about welfare cuts.
Demouh said she was not interested but claims Hellen told her his editor had decided to publish the story without consent.
She then complained to the Press Complaints Commission saying the article would breach her privacy and that Hellen's information was inaccurate. The Sunday Times then agreed to delay publication until Sunday 17 March.
Demouh suggested Hellen's information could only have been obtained from a Westminster Council source, adding: "I believe that the councillors have no right to talk to journalists or the public about my private life".
She said the newspaper should be prevented from publishing her name, personal finance details, address, and anything that would identify her or her family.
Sunday Times executive editor Bob Tyrer told Press Gazette the paper had gone ahead with the story because it was in the public interest.
He said: "This case demonstrates how important it is that nothing in the post-Leveson regulatory regime makes it easier to keep public interest stories out of the public domain."

What You Should Know About Strokes
Did you know a great number of individuals do not even appreciate the primary indicators of a stroke? Do you know any type of signs of experiencing a stroke? You perhaps said no or may possibly at best specify a small number of the vital signs. The earlier on you figure out that you're experiencing a stroke, the more suitable your odds are for acquiring a rehabilitation.
So that you have the best chance for healing, you ought to be knowledgeable on what precisely a stroke is. Furthermore, you really need to be coached on the signs of a stroke and what precisely you will be able to do should you feel you or a family member is dealing with a stroke. Learning these red flags will likely supply you with the familiarity with what precisely you are capable of doing to fortify your health and wellness long-term if you should have a stroke at any time.
Exactly What Goes On During a Stroke
A stroke occurs when you receive a "brain attack". Comparable to a heart attack, a stroke comes about when your brain is lacking of blood circulation. Should you have a stroke, it's caused by a blood clot barring the circulation of blood into the brain (Ischemic stroke) or a broken blood vessel which fills the brain with blood (Hemorrhagic stroke).
When your brain is devoid of oxygen, one's brain cells die around the area of the brain that is deprived of oxygen. The capabilities that are manipulated in that portion of the brain are destroyed. Normally it has an effect on your memory/movement/speech. Moderate strokes help make the loss of some movements in an arm or a leg. Considerably more significant strokes would probably impact on your legs/speech/arms in addition to other sections, and even bring about permanent impairments. Clearly, just about the most harsh impact of a stroke is dying.
Signs or Symptoms of a Stroke
The moment you are getting a stroke, a few of the symptoms might take you inadequately prepared. In the event that you do ever have any signs or symptoms of a stroke, do not forget to get in touch with 911. You shouldn't feel ashamed, just call. It's far better to be free from danger than sorry, and the faster you get hold of professional support, the better.
Get hold of 911 straight away once you have:
Difficulties talking out of the blue
Surprising problems seeing
Inability to understand basic things out of the blue
Walking and equilibrium disorders out of the blue
An unexpected oncoming of a bad headache that doesn't feel like past headaches
If ever you think a person is developing a stroke, request that they complete these actions to figure out if it really is, in fact, a stroke and not something different. This is regarded as the quickest method of assessing for stroke indicators. Get them to smile at you. If perhaps one facet of their face droops, it may perhaps be a stroke.
Advise them to lift up both arms. In the event they have a tough time lifting one side, they could have gotten a stroke. Tell the patient a phrase and ask them to repeat it for you. If it sounds strange to you or slurred, chances are they got impaired by a stroke.
Time is essential in trying to get help for anybody who has had a stroke. Get hold of 911 at once if just about any of these indications are found in you or a family member of friend.

One of the new services that Microsoft recently brought to Office 365 was Delve. It has been made available to early adopters for about six months but now has been made available to all eligible plans (E1, E3 and E4).
Delve is an example of the shift that is taking place within the Enterprise towards the integration of social networking as a business tool. Delve is basically a dynamic card based interface that surfaces your most relevant content from across Office 365. If you want to know more about the details of Delve have a loo at:
Where does this content come from? SharePoint and OneDrive for Business, Office 365 video, Yammer, emails and more. How does it determine what is relevant content? Delve uses the Officegraph technology to analyse the interactions between Office 365 users. It learns who you are what is important to you. It then surfaces relevant content to you in the familiar card view. This means you can go to a single location to track all the information in one location rather than across the different Office 365 properties.
Utilisation of dedicated collaboration tools like Delve and Yammer are a much better way for most businesses to communicate and stay on top of projects and share information information across the organisation. If you haven't already started playing with the social tools of Office 365 then please contact us here at Correct on (02) 8831 8200 and let us help. We can not only show you the benefits of social networking within a business but also help you implement it effectively.
